Synopsis

This text brings together both the history of community involvement in health, and ideas and proposals for further developing the potential of this approach. It explores the roots and branches of community involvement, drawing together different strands from within and outside of the NHS. Also explored is the impact of the rapid changes in the NHS on local communities and patients and the ways in which current policy can enhance and enable the general public to be more involved in their own health and in effective service provision/ideas. Models and case studies are used to illustrate practical ways in which skills and knowledge can be enhanced.
